Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s contributions to Sikh heritage, including bringing holy copies of the Guru Granth Sahib from Afghanistan, constructing the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, celebrating Veer Bal Diwas, and promoting the history of Guru Govind Singh Ji’s Sahibzadas.
While addressing an election rally in Punjab’s Zirakpur in support of BJP candidate Preneet Kaur from Patiala, Dhami said, “The Prime Minister has also done many things for the preservation, protection and expansion of the heritage of Sikhism. Three holy copies of the holy Guru Granth Sahib of Sikhism were brought to India from Afghanistan with full respect. Kartarpur Sahib Corridor has been constructed. Veer Bal Diwas is being celebrated in the name of the four Sahibzadas of Guru Govind Singh Ji. Modi ji also did the work of bringing their history in front of India and the world. The sacrifice of Sikhism has not been told to the country and the world till date. The doors of Hemkund Sahib in Uttarakhand have opened. To make Hemkund Sahib Yatra easier, Prime Minister Modi has laid the foundation stone of the ropeway there”.
According to the Chief Minister, Punjabis want to see Prime Minister Modi serve a third term. He stated that the BJP candidate Mrs. Preneet Kaur ji must be elected with the most votes in order to advance the Patiala Lok Sabha.
“Every vote of the public to BJP will strengthen the country and fulfill the resolve of developed India. Prosperity is going to come with the vote of the people. The vote of the people will directly provide new strength to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji,” Dhami said.
Dhami highlighted India’s transformation into a manufacturing hub under Modi, attracting global companies and becoming the world’s fifth-largest economy.
He noted successful events like the G20 summit and various welfare schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, and Ayushman Yojana, which have significantly impacted millions. He also cited the implementation of the CAA, the abrogation of Article 370, the ban on triple talaq, and the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya as key achievements.
Dhami criticized opposition’s appeasement tactics, accusing parties like AAP and Congress of relying on specific vote banks.
“AAP and Congress are continuously working in Delhi and other states to benefit their special vote bank. In Karnataka, Congress gave the reservation of other backward classes to a special class. These people work to change the Constitution. They make fun of people sitting on constitutional posts. BJP talks about Uniform Civil Code while Congress talks about implementing Muslim Personal Law. The opposition has neither any vision nor any ideology. These people only want to gain power,” Dhami said.
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Modi ji, schemes worth more than Rs 2 lakh crore are underway for the development of Punjab. Which includes the gift of many green field highways, expressways, AIIMS.
He urged the people to cast their votes in support of Preneet Kaur, the BJP candidate from Patiala, in order to help her win and help Narendra Modi become prime minister for the third time.
The state of Punjab is engulfed in a four-corner conflict. The 13 seats in Punjab will be decided in a single round of voting. The constituencies of Gurudaspur, Amritsar, Khadoor Sahib, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Nandpur Sahib, Ludhiana, Fatehgarh Sahib, Faridkot, Firozpur, Bathinda, Sangrur, and Patiala will vote in the seventh and final phase on June 1.
